There was also the fact that New York would be an excellent place for him to go, since he would have to leave Seattle for a while. As he thought of this, he gritted his teeth and gave in completely. “I’ll start planning, Young Master Fox. We have to make a comprehensive plan if we want to succeed! Just one plan will not be sufficient. There must also be at least one or two contingency plans for backup, in case the first fails.” Homer grinned, pleased. “With your intelligence and wisdom, Finley, I’m sure things will turn out perfectly!”

"It matters." "Why?" "Because panic and planning leave different traces," Declan said. "If this was planned, if someone chose that place, that time, that gate... there may be more of a trail than we'd otherwise expect. Planning requires decisions. Decisions require resources, movement, contact with other people." He closed his notepad. "We'll find the thread. It just takes time."

"We would not focus on that on our first day, Ms. Ashworth. There is something I already planned for today." Her fingers stopped scrolling. She looked up slowly. He was leaning against the table, hand inside his pocket, his expression calm. She frowned. Everything she had outlined was the most necessary step they needed to take care of. She had done the research. She had analyzed the data. She had created a plan that would maximize efficiency. "What is your plan?" she asked him. She kept her voice flat. Professional. He smiled, that same easy smile, and said, "Let us go diving."

“I can’t wait for a little mini you running around. She’d have me wrapped around her finger so fast. I’d never be able to tell her no.” “Speaking from experience, that’s a good power to have over you,” I joke. “But you’re right, we do need to make a game plan.” He sits up and pulls out his phone, “baby step number one,” he says as he types. “Make doctor’s appointment. Step two, find house. Step three, have baby. Step four, live happily ever after.” He puts his phone away and gives me a cheesy look, “there. All planned out.” “I mean, that’s parts of a plan,” I tell him slowly. “I feel like there needs to be more steps in there though.”

She said, and exchanged glances with the number of faces in the room. Logan's head was plastered on his table, but he heard Becky loud and clear. And in a way, she had been right."That could work. But we still have--" "One plan won't be strong enough to rely on. Neither would two or even three be necessary." Becky said, then smiled. "Create backup event plans B, C, D, and even E.
